#mordrid

22 hours later, and I'm done with this menagerie of characters (⁠ﾉ⁠⁠*0⁠⁠*)⁠ﾉ ✧˖°✧˖°

gonna call this one:

"A night at lake Avalon"

(Deep inhale)

We are in season 5 now. Is Mordrid just never gonna come back? I thought the he would maybe play a role in helping Morgana. He is destined to kill Arthur, is he not?

Merlin took care of problems himself instead of going to the Great Dragon at every single minor fucking convenience? Here are a few things that would happen:

Mordrid would have grown up idolizing Merlin, not mistrusting him

Merlin would not have been on the fence about protecting Mordrid AT ALL

This "on the fence" mentality is actually really what turned Mordrid against Merlin. If Merlin had swayed one way or the other, Mordrid would either be dead (and Arthur would be safe and Morgana wouldn't have had Mordrid's help, and would never have found out Merlin's identity as Emrys) or he would be alive and completely trusting of Merlin (and Arthur would be safe and Morgana wouldn't have had Mordrid's help, and would never have found out about Merlin's identity as Emrys) (Mordrid might even have been a spy for Arthur so...)

Also Arthur wouldn't have died at the end

Those magical beings Arthur and Merlin tried to make a deal with in like s4 or 5? And Arthur asked Merlin "should magic be allowed in Camelot?" and Merlin thought back to what the Great Asshat said and instead of saying "hells yeah!" he said "aw fuck naw magic has no place in Camelot" and it was all a test? And their plan got fucked up?? But like if Merlin had never had that conversation with the dragon then he would have jumped at the chance? And then Merlin could have told Arthur about his magic so much sooner?? And avoided so much pain??? Like??????

And yeah there's more but this is all for now
